What is reactive power in SAP IS-U-BI - Contract Billing?

SAP Term: reactive power

• Component: IS-U-BI

• Component Name: Contract Billing

• Description: Component of apparent power that does not yield work. It arises when electromagnetic fields are built up or broken down in transformers or motors, for example in connection with alternating voltage.

• Key Concepts: 
  Reactive power is a type of electrical energy that is generated when an electric motor or other device is running. It is measured in kilovolt-amperes reactive (kVAR). Reactive power is used to maintain the voltage level in an electrical system and to provide the necessary power for certain types of equipment.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP IS-U-BI Contract Billing, reactive power is used to calculate the amount of energy consumed by a customer. The system uses the reactive power data to determine the amount of energy consumed and the cost associated with it. The system also uses the reactive power data to calculate the total energy cost for a customer.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the amount of energy consumed by a customer, it is important to take into account both active and reactive power. This will ensure that the customer is billed accurately for their energy consumption. Additionally, it is important to monitor the reactive power levels in an electrical system in order to ensure that the voltage levels remain stable.
  
  Related Information: 
  Reactive power is closely related to active power, which is the actual amount of energy consumed by an electrical device or system. Active power is measured in kilowatts (kW). Additionally, reactive power is related to apparent power, which is the combination of active and reactive power and is measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA).
